Granby cum Sutton Parish Council has the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the Granby cemetery. You may already be aware that we have taken the opportunity to acquire additional land and that this special place in our village should be able to accommodate our requirements for the next 100 years.
As is now the general policy for cemeteries, kerbstone surrounds of graves are no longer acceptable, but we have to ensure that all memorials and headstones placed on graves are safe and that the cemetery in general is kept neat and tidy. However, over time, some of the older graves, particularly those that were marked with a kerb stone, are falling into disrepair. A list of those in the most urgent need of attention follows.
The Parish Council would like to discuss with anyone who has an ancestor buried in the Granby Cemetery, and whose grave is listed, steps that can be taken to repair the damage. This is an ongoing programme and if you know of anyone who no longer lives in the Granby area but whose ancestor's grave is listed, it would be most helpful if you could inform the Parish Clerk. In an effort to allow progress to be made please make contact as soon as possible before Spring 2007
